Xbox Game Pass gains one of the year's highest-rated releases

Much like Sony’s PlayStation Plus subscription service, Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass has plenty of games to offer, some of which are absolute bangers, such as the topic of today’s discussion.

If you’re feeling a little over-saturated with the most popular game on the Xbox Game Pass subscription service right now, Palworld, then never fear. If you’re a fan of JRPGs, then Persona 3 Reload may be worth your consideration especially as it’s one of this year's most critically acclaimed games.

“Step into the shoes of a transfer student thrust into an unexpected fate when entering the hour 'hidden' between one day and the next. Awaken an incredible power and chase the mysteries of the Dark Hour, fight for your friends, and leave a mark on their memories forever,” reads the synopsis of the game. “Persona 3 Reload is a captivating reimagining of the genre-defining RPG, reborn for the modern era.”

In our review of Persona 3 Reload, we said, “When you evaluate Persona 3: Reload on how well it remakes the original, it’s clear this is an improvement in almost every way. It’s a masterful JRPG with a lot of heart and streamlined gameplay that’s beautifully presented through stunning animations and a fantastic soundtrack.”

However, it’s not just the GAMINGbible team that’s been enjoying the critically acclaimed SEGA-published JRPG, because fellow critics and fans alike cannot get enough. At the time of writing, Persona 3 Reload has scored as high as 89 on the aggregate website Metacritic.

One of the best benefits of being a subscriber to Xbox Game Pass is that not only do we have hundreds of games to choose from but also, now and again, we get amazing third-party titles such as Persona 3 Reload on the day of launch. It’s unlikely that Persona 3 Reload will remain on Xbox Game Pass forever, and with an estimated playtime that could last up to 100 hours, you better get started if this JRPG tickles your fancy.

Persona 3 Reload is out now on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
